Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Albert and Lucerne are two very different stories composed by author and philosopher Leo Tolstoy. Both stories reflect Tolstoy's interest in music and melody. Albert (1858) presents the hardships and ridicule faced by an artist as he pursues his passion for playing music. Lucerne (1857) reflects his disenchantment with the elitism of the European bourgeois. To the author, Westerners' sophistication is indicative of their moral decay.

Biografía del autor:

Leo Tolstoy was a Russian novelist and moral philosopher noted for his ideas of nonviolent resistance. His diary reveals an incessant pursuit of a morally justified life. He was known for his generosity to the peasants.His best known novels are War and Peace (1869), which Tolstoy regarded as an epic rather than a novel, and Anna Karenina (1877). His work was admired in his time by Dostoyevsky, Checkov, Turgenev, and Flaubert, and later by Virginia Woolf and James Joyce.
